Bucs Jameis Winston: ‘I’ve had my years at Florida State. I’m trying to have my years here too’

It’s no secret that Bucs’ star quarterback Jameis Winston was extremely disappointed with his performance in Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals where he was intercepted four times and lost a fumble as well. However, the second-year starter made it very clear during Wednesday’s press conference that he has put Week 2 behind him and is fired up and ready to rebound this week against Los Angeles.

“You’ve got to move on to the next week, Winston said at One Bucs Place. “It’s a week-to-week league and my job as a teammate to our guys is to put us in a situation to win. Last week I did not do that and my job, my individual goal, is to get better every week. So I know if I’m getting better, I should play better.”

Winston’s ability to bounce back after tough losses is an ideal trait that was instilled early on during his years of playing for Jimbo Fisher and the Florida State Seminoles. The former Heisman Trophy Winner originally made a name for himself during his time with Seminoles where he won his first 26 starts, led the Noles to a victory in the 2014 BCS National Championship and completed his 27-game career as arguably one the best quarterbacks in the ACC and college football history. But the former first-round pick’s prestigious career is just getting underway. Winston says that was just a chapter of his story. His next goal is to create a legacy for himself as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer.

“Like I said, I’m focused on getting back out here on this practice field and taking care of us, Winston said. “I’ve had my years at Florida State. I’m trying to have my years here too.”

Jameis and company will be looking to redeem themselves when they face the Rams at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday in the Bucs home opener.
